Learning Multiple Utterance-Level Attribute Representations with a Unified Speech Encoder
Speech foundation models trained with self-supervised learning produce generic speech representations that support a wide range of speech processing tasks. When further adapted with supervised learning, these models can achieve strong performance on specific downstream tasks. Recent post-training approaches, such as SAMU-XSLR and SONAR, align speech representations with utterance-level semantic representations, enabling effective multimodal (speech-text) and multilingual applications. While speech foundation models typically learn contextual embeddings at the acoustic frame level, these methods learn representations at the utterance level. In this work, we extend this paradigm to arbitrary utterance-level attributes and propose a unified post-training framework that enables a single speech foundation model to generate multiple types of utterance-level representations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by jointly learning semantic and speaker representations and evaluating them on multilingual speech retrieval and speaker recognition tasks.

UniSAE: Unified Speech Attribute Editing on Speaker, Emotion and Low-Level Content via Discrete Phonetic Posteriorgram Modelling
Speech editing aims to modify specific portions of an utterance while preserving the remaining speech. Existing approaches primarily focus on word-level content modification and typically treat content, speaker, and emot…
